Thanks for your prompt response. I apologize that it has taken a couple of weeks to respond. I have
been in the field as much as I can during the pandemic (benefits to working alone). I will respond
below each of your questions in RED TYPEFACE to make it easier for you to review our
responses. I will also reference all attachments in our responses. Please call or email if you have
any questions or if you need any additional information.
Thanks!!

Mr. Petitgout,
On April 1, 2020, we received the Pre -Construction Notification and request for jurisdictional determination
you submitted on behalf of SVBP @Self Storage, LLC on a property located in Union County, North Carolina.
I have completed my initial review of the report and I have determined that it is incomplete. The following
information is necessary before I will issue a determination:
Pre -Construction Notification Additional Information Needed:
a. Please provide the applicant(s) information (David Cuthbertson)
• Telephone number
• Email address
b. Please provide the applicant(s) information
9 SVBP @Radiator, LLC

• Point of Contact (Jonathan McCall)
• Mailing address
• Telephone number
• Email address
Answers for both a. and b. are below. The applicants/owners have a new address....
Applicants/Entities: SVBP@Radiator Road, LLC and SVBP@ Self Storage, LLC
Applicants/Owners: David Cuthbertson and Johnathan McCall
Address (for both): 2627 Brekonridge Centre Drive Monroe, NC 28110
Phone (for both): 704-774-1964
Email (Cuthbertson): [e-mail]
Email (McCall): [e-mail]
It should be noted that the addresses on the Agent Authorization forms signed by both Mr. Cuthbertson and Mr.
McCall have changed to the address above.
c. The PCN states the applicants as David Cuthbertson and Johnathan McCall. However, the PCN
only includes a signed Agent Authorization Form by David Cuthbertson. If you want there to be
multiple applicants for the PCN then multiple signed Agent Authorization forms are needed.
Therefore, please include a signed Agent Authorization Form for Mr. Jonathan McCall if you want
to have multiple applicants.
An Agent Authorization Form signed by Mr. Johnathan McCall is attached.
c. The wetland impacts in Section D of the PCN do not match the impacts listed in the Exhibit
Drawings (i.e., EX-1). The table states Wetland Impact 1 is Site Wetland WA for 0.19 acre;
whereas the Exhibit EX-1 states Wetland Impact 1 is Site Wetland WA 0.22 acres. In addition, the
table stated Wetland Impact 2 is Site Wetland WA for 0.22 acres; whereas the Exhibit EX-1 states
Wetland Impact 2 is Site Wetland WB for 0.19 acres. Please correct the inconsistencies in the table
and/or Wetland Exhibit EX-1.
I apologize for the confusion. The table in Section D has been revised to read the following way:
Impact 91 Fill Permanent Headwater Forest Site Wetland WB Yes Both 0.190-acre
Impact 92 FIII Permanent Headwater Forest Site Wetland WA Yes Both 0.220-acre
I inadvertently tagged both wetlands in the WETLAND NAME column as Wetland "WA".
The revised application page is attached with the corrected WETLAND NAME for Impact 91.
C.
d. The PCN only includes 1 NCWAM for multiple impacted wetlands. Typically, NCWAMs are filled
out for each impacted while. While the impacted wetlands onsite are all the same type (i.e.,
headwater forested wetland), these wetlands will likely vary in a number of characteristics like
vegetated buffer. In addition, please clearly label each NCWAM form with the appropriate wetland
name. Therefore, please include a separate NCWAM form for each of the wetlands listed below:

• Site Wetland WA The NCWAM form originally attached to the PCN package matches the conditions
present at Wetland WA. I am attaching the originally submitted NCWAM form for tagged as Wetland
WA.
• Site Wetland WB I am attaching a new NCWAM form that matches the conditions present at Wetland
WB. This new form will be tagged as Wetland WB.
f. In Section 1)(2)(h) of the PCN, it states "0.07 acre of impact are permanent impacts (land clearing
for maintained sewer line — conversion) that should not require mitigation because there is no
wetland loss." This is an incorrect assumption. While these impacts are different from wetland fill
impacts, such as in Site Wetlands WA and WB, there still is wetland loss. You are
removing/altering an established, forested wetland and going to maintain that converted wetland as
a herbaceous wetland in perpetuity. The removal of an established forested overstory/understory
and removal of shrubs and trees that are hydrophytic vegetation change the biological function and
makeup of that wetland. Therefore, compensatory mitigation will be required for permanent
wetland conversion impacts associated with this project. Please note, these impacts will be
considered at a reduced ratio compared to the fill impacts in Site Wetlands WA and WB.
We understand that the 0.07-acre of wetland impacts for land clearing along the sewer are permanent
conversion impacts and that these impacts will require wetland mitigation, but the mitigation will be considered
at a lower ratio.
Jurisdictional Determination Additional Information Needed:
a. As stated in my email dated November 18, 2019, please complete the ORM Aquatic Resources
Upload spreadsheet for all aquatic features within the proposed project area.
Attached, please find the ORM Aquatic Resources Upload Spreadsheet for all aquatic features within the
proposed project area.
PLEASE NOTE:
• The proposed project is located within the Lower Catawba Watershed (HUC 03050103). There are
currently no private mitigation banks or in -lieu site with credits available to offset losses of aquatic
function from private development in this watershed. Since these impacts occur in the Expanded
Service Area, compensatory mitigation ratios in the HUC 103 will likely be doubled.
We understand that NCDMS is not currently able to satisfy mitigation needs in the Lower Catawba Watershed
(HUC 03050103) with mitigation sites located within that particular basin. We would request that the Corps
only tack on the doubling of mitigation ratios instead of the normal multiplier for wetland impacts coupled
with multiplier for out of watershed mitigation (doubling of the ratio) due to the low quality of the wetlands
being impacted (as demonstrated by the attached NCWAM forms).

Please provide the information requested above in ONE consolidated response within 30-days of the date of
this correspondence. If you do not respond within 30-days, the request will be administratively canceled.
Please contact me via telephone or e-mail if you have any questions.

7. Wetland Acting as Vegetated Buffer - assessment area/wetland complex condition metric
7a. Is assessment area within 50 feet of a tributary or other open water?
i' Yes (: No If Yes, continue to 7b. If No, skip to Metric 8.
Wetland buffer need only be present on one side of the water body. Make buffer judgment based on the average width of the wetland.
Record a note if a portion of the buffer has been removed or disturbed.
7b. How much of the first 50 feet from the bank is weltand? Descriptor E should be selected if ditches effectively bypass the buffer.
(' A >_ 50 feet

Answer for assessment area dominant landform.
i' A Evidence of short -duration inundation (< 7 consecutive days)
(i B Evidence of saturation, without evidence of inundation
r' C Evidence of long -duration inundation or very long -duration inundation (7 to 30 consecutive days or more)
10. Indicators of Deposition -assessment area condition metric
Consider recent deposition only (no plant growth since deposition).
(i A Sediment deposition is not excessive, but at approximately natural levels.
(" B Sediment deposition is excessive, but not overwhelming the wetland.
(" C Sediment deposition is excessive and is overwhelming the wetland.
11. Wetland Size - wetland type/wetland complex condition metric
Check a box in each column. Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric evaluates three aspects of the wetland area: the
size of the wetland type (WT), the size of the wetland complex (WC), and the size of the forested wetland (FW) (if applicable, see User
Manual). See the User Manual for boundaries of these evaluation areas. If assessment area is clear-cut, select "K" for the FW column.

(i F (e F Wetland type has a poor or no connection to other natural habitats
13b. Evaluate for marshes only.
(— Yes (— No Wetland type has a surface hydrology connection to open waters/stream or tidal wetlands.
14. Edge Effect — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes)
May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include
non -forested areas >_ 40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors and clear -cuts.
Consider the eight main points of the compass.
(' A No artificial edge within 150 feet in all directions
(' B No artificial edge within 150 feet in four (4) to seven (7) directions
fe C An artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in more than four (4) directions or assessment area is clear-cut
15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat)
(' A Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate
species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
(i B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or
clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.
(' C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition. Expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non -
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species). Exotic species are dominant in
at least one stratum.
16. Vegetative Diversity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non -tidal Freshwater Marsh only)
(' A Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species (<10% cover of exotics).
(' B Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10% to 50% cover of exotics.
(' C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (>50% cover of exotics).
17. Vegetative Structure — assessment area/wetland type condition metric
17a. Is vegetation present?
(i Yes (' No If Yes, continue to 17b. If No, skip to Metric 18.
17b. Evaluate percent coverage of assessment area vegetation for all marshes only. Skip to 17c for non -marsh wetlands.
(' A >_ 25% coverage of vegetation
(' B < 25% coverage of vegetation
17c. Check a box in each column for each stratum. Evaluate this portion of the metric for non -marsh wetlands. Consider structure
in airspace
above the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT) separately.

22. Hydrologic Connectivity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for riparian wetlands only)
Examples of activities that may severely alter hydrologic connectivity include intensive
ditching, fill, sedimentation, channelization, diversion, man-made berms, beaver dams, and stream incision.
t+ A Overbank and overland flow are not severely altered in the assessment area.
C B Overbank flow is severely altered in the assessment area.
r C Overland flow is severely altered in the assessment area.
D Both overbank and overland flow are severely altered in the assessment area.
Notes
Assessment is for WB on the Valley Commons Business Park Site. The wetland appears to be low quality based on visual observations of the
wetland and the surrounding areas.
